Barrett Lumber was founded in 1926 by Harold T Barrett and operated as a water powered sawmill, evolving over the years to a modern day electrically powered mill. The company has remained a family owned operation, sons Keith, David and Hugh as owners and several of the third generation family are involved in the business. The owners of Barrett Lumber have a strong sense of community, offering the use of their sign for community announcements, supporting schools, sport activities of the area, scouting programs and offering tours to interested groups. Enermax Homes is pleased to support business that support our communities.

The Icynene expandable foam insulation system has been used for years in many other parts of Canada and around the world, but really hasn’t been utilized to its full potential in Atlantic Canada, until now. The Icynene expandable foam insulation system is used in every EnerMax Home. No more pink for us.

iLevel TJI by Trusjoist

It all starts with the floor. We use only TJI TrusJoist flooring systems. TJI® Joists revolutionized the way you build floors. Trus Joist developed the wooden I-joist 35 years ago. Engineered to provide strength and consistency, these joists are a key part of the FrameWorks® Floor System. The dimensional stability of TJI joists helps them resist the warping, twisting, and shrinking that can lead to squeaky floors. TJI joists are light weight and come in long lengths. This helps save on bearing walls because we can span a greater distance than traditional 2”x 10” framing. To complete the system we use ¾ tongue and groove structure wood for the floor sheathing. This is then glued and screwed to maximize structural integrity and minimize squeaks and movement.
